π‘ποΈ Anna Barnett, BidPrime's VP of Client Services: "So far this year, we have seen that government agencies are inclined towards investing in smart city solutions, including traffic management, public safety, waste management, and energy optimization. Our BidPrime analysts note that vendors offering scalable smart city solutions can have an advantage in securing these government contracts."

Methodology:
ππ We analyzed many thousands of requests for proposals (RFPs) and procurement records from government databases, including BidPrime and Beacon Bid. By identifying common industries and keywords mentioned in these documents, we gained valuable insights into the needs of government agencies to date in 2023.
Findings:
Construction and Infrastructure: ποΈ Municipal, city, county, and state agencies frequently request proposals related to road construction, bridges, building renovations, public transportation projects, and water infrastructure development. The demand for construction materials, engineering services, and project management expertise is consistently high in this sector. π’π§
Information Technology (IT) and Software Solutions: π»π Government agencies prioritize IT investments to streamline operations. They seek services like software development, cybersecurity (see 'US Government Agencies and Companies Hit in Global Cyberattack'), network infrastructure, cloud computing, and data management solutions to enhance efficiency and citizen engagement. π²
Education and Training: ππ K-12 schools and educational institutions often request solutions for curriculum development, teacher training, online learning platforms, student assessment tools, and educational technology. Addressing their needs can lead to significant collaboration opportunities. πβοΈ
π‘ Bill Culhane, BidPrime's COO: "K-12 agencies seek personalized learning solutions that promote student engagement and individualized instruction. We are seeing that companies in adaptive learning platforms and educational apps have immense potential for collaboration." ππ±
